So i'm looking into getting a new camera in January and want to stick with a Nikon as that is what I have now and it is what I'm learning on.
I have about an 800 dollar budget and am looking for people to give me their experiences with cameras they have so I can get the best for what I want. I'm really into macro and I like the look of HDR so I want something that has good lenses or is just basically good with either of those.
There is a deal near me for a D5100, 18-55mm VR lens for $780. Now if that is a good deal i'm not sure but I read a review stating to not buy it with that lens and get a 35mm F1.8 lens.
Since my camera doesn't have the ability to swap lenses i'm not really familiar with what is better for what and plan on learning that as I get the hang of what I have now so i'm not sure if I should bother getting that lens or save the extra money for a better lens or even just buy a $800 dollar body with no lens.
Any help, tips, advice would be greatly appreciated.
